Head swapping is the act of removing the head from an animated character and replacing it with a different one. This is usually done for one of two reasons: cost and memory constraints (on video game consoles). Head swapping is not the only method of reusing character sprites, as a graphic designer can also change other parts of the body, whether it'll be the character's arms, legs or torso, with new ones to create a new sprite. An example of this would be the final boss in Smash TV, MC Mayhen, who uses the same base sprite as the Mutoid Man, but with a different head and chest as well.
